My ID photo from my first day of work in 1998 – the other on my last day in the office in 2015.

I’m belatedly adding this announcement I posted to Facebook last week on Trotz.com for posterity – who knows when Facebook is going to go belly up?!? In all seriousness, I was both humbled and honored by nearly 100 friends, coworkers and family far and near taking time to lend words of support. I think you dearly for all your blessings.

So last week I said goodbye to my workplace of 18 years. While it may be hard to believe so much time has passed, these photos certainly suggest otherwise. What’s next? I’m equally excited about not only taking a little time off but also the opportunity ahead. Here is the note I sent to my colleagues earlier today:

As many of you already know, my 18 years at Turner are coming to an end.

What I will miss the most are the people of Turner. Not that new project or product – but the other human beings it’s been my honor to work alongside for so many years.

It has been a pleasure to have lived, loved and learned new things every day of my years spent at Turner. I think back to my job interview in 1997 – with much more hair, and much darker hair at that, talking to Jim Walton about how the internet was going to change media as we know it.

Strategies change, business headwinds ebb and flow, but with the kind of people I’ve had the pleasure of working with at Turner, a job becomes more than a job – it becomes a passion. And for having that opportunity, I am forever thankful.

I am looking forward to future adventures, and feel certain that our paths will intersect again.
